Chapter 1441: Could it be-him?

"That letter was gone when the rebels stormed into the imperial city."
Pei Yuanfeng's gaze narrowed and he stared at me: "Who was taken away?"
I said, "I also want to know, but the rebels broke into the imperial city. At that time, it was a chaos in the world. No one could save their lives. Where could one or two things be considered. This was also after the rebels retreated. I just discovered that at that time, I had to follow up and I couldn't find anything. "
He frowned. "Rebels took it?"
"Yes."
"How many paths does the rebels have?"
"Lin in the clouds, Runan in Yuan, Gongsun Qi, son of Jinhou Gongsun Shu, and of course-Nangong Jinhong."
When I was here, I paused, and Pei Yuanfeng looked up at me, although I told him once before, how Nangong Jinhong treated me and Chang Qing and Prince Edward during the period when Pei Yuanzhang was seriously comatose. Pressing step by step, he also said that his defection, but the real reason, I have never found a chance to tell him, I also know that his heart is not without doubt.
After all, he grew up with those older brothers. He must know more about Pei Yuanzhang and Nangong Lizhu than when I was young.
So I said, "About Nangong Jinhong and-your second brother, I have something to tell you."
He blinked.
I said this very quickly because I didn't want to stay in the past for too long, but I know that although it has been the past few decades, its power is enough to set off waves in some people's hearts, and Pei Yuanfeng's face is slow Slowly becomes pale.
After I had finished speaking, after a long time, he hadn't reflected anything.
I didn't immediately urge him to understand, accept everything I said, just sit opposite him so calmly and look at him, I don't know how long it took before he said hoarsely: "So-my second brother, he, He is not--"
"Yes, he is not."
"Then my mother ... was she replacing her daughter with my second brother and him?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Nangong Lizhu is her daughter, that is-your sister."
Pei Yuanfeng took another breath.
But this time, he didn't go silent any more, nor was he dazed, but instead looked up at me with a hint of soberness in his eyes: "Does the emperor know?"
I said, "I think he should have been aware of it, so he passed the prequel to the coma before he fell seriously into a coma ... the elder prince was not written on the edict. And his illness, too--"
Having said that, I glanced at him and shut up in a hurry.
Sometimes, although the other person looks calm, the scars and holes in it are not visible to the naked eye. I should understand this most, and at this time, I should not say too much.
As for the death of Empress Zhaolie, the coffin, and the identity of Pei Yuanzhang, it seems that the Emperor Tai also concealed it intentionally, so I do n’t intend to tell him directly. After all, this is a matter related to him, one of his His mother, one of his second brother, suddenly became completely unrecognizable. He had to accept too much effort.
I can no longer make trouble.
I said gently: "Yuanfeng, this matter should actually be told by the emperor, or any other person related to it, I will tell you now, there is no other meaning, I just think that you should know. "
He looked up at me, his eyes calmed down, but the hand placed on the table was a fist, his knuckles were slightly white.
He said, "I understand."
"..."
"You made it clear to me, okay, it's foolish, but it's easy to make mistakes."
"..."
"Thank you, lightness."
"..."
After hearing what he said, I was really upset. For a time, I felt that my chest was stuffed and panicked, as if an invisible black hand was pinching my heart and not letting it beat. I was gasping slightly, but I heard his sober and calm voice sounded again in the ear: "So Nangong Jinhong, he is the second brother-" Speaking of this, he hesitated slightly, but did not change his mouth immediately And just ignored the past: "People?"
"Yes."
"He has been dormant for so many years, and is working for his second brother."
"I think so."
He sighed and said, "It's no wonder then that you were cleaning up Shen Gongyu in the Refuge River Valley, and he was able to build his power in Jiangnan so accurately, and there are so many things that he knew so well. "
He seemed very awake. Although the ones I just mentioned made him feel emotionally ups and downs for a while, he quickly got rid of those emotions. Now he looks like he is not happy or sad, and there is no obvious anger and sorrow. , But it is such calmness, but it makes people feel indescribable.
I looked at him and said gently: "Yuanfeng ..."
He glanced up at me, facing my overwhelmed glance, and said calmly, "I know what you are worried about, but now we have to face not the past, but the present."
"..."
"Resolve the matter before you, and then talk about the past."
"..."
He was indeed a man who had fought on the battlefield.
Such people are not unaffected by some emotions, but they can get rid of such emotions as quickly as possible, and they can quickly figure out what they should face most and what to do.
In contrast, as a woman, I was indeed a little bit sad.
So I nodded. "Okay."
Then he said: "Continue to say what you just said. Your letter is gone. As you guessed, who was the one who took the letter?"
"If you just guess like this, it's possible for everyone to be on the road, or even any lady in the palace, or any eunuch, but if you look at the thing upside down, the answer may be clearer."
"You said."
"When I took that letter, I knew that I would leave Beijing in the short term, and I knew that my destination must be Xichuan, so it was possible to set ambush along the way."
Pei Yuanfeng slowly said: "Nangong Jinhong."
I nodded.
He went on to say: "He took the letter and knew you would return to Xichuan, so he set the road on this road, then he must also know that after you return to Xichuan, he will participate in the bidding for the mine this time."
"But I think he didn't have the courage to follow me all the way into Sichuan. Besides, there are light cold, light dust, and people sent by Xishan College. If he really followed me all the way, they would have been long ago. I found out that it is impossible for him to follow here. "
Pei Yuanfeng was silent for a while and said, "If not, what about him?"
"..."
"He got the letter, knew the message in the letter, and told others."
The word "others" a little bit heavier, and it also made my heart sank a bit. When I looked up at him, his eyes seemed more and more intensive: "Then, maybe this thing It ’s nothing to do with him, but someone else is following you, or-- "
"But why?"
He was silent for a while and said, "Every spring and summer, the Sanjiang Dam will be flooded."
"I know that."
"At that time, the ships on the river would be chaotic, and there was no way to check them as strictly as usual."
"..."
"If you really want to mix in, it's possible."
"..."
"What do you think?"
"..."
"Will it be-him?"
At this moment, my breathing and heartbeat were a little chaotic: "I don't know ..."
Pei Yuanfeng looked at me for a while and stood up without a word. I looked up and looked at him as if he were turning to leave, and asked, "Where are you going?"
He had already taken a step, turned his back to me, and didn't look back, but said in a sullen voice: "I'll send someone to look around."
"..."
"If someone does sneak in, see if you can spot any clues."
"..."
"I'll go first."
After speaking, I didn't say anything, walked out of this small courtyard a few steps.
I sat under the tree and watched his back disappear at the gate of the courtyard. I still felt uncomfortable and depressed, and Pei Yuanfeng's guess was not a confirmation of my guess, because it seemed to me that There is such a shadow, but I don't know if this shadow will become real, a specific person.
Really, is it him?
What I dare not think about is, what if he is really him?
Pei Yuanfeng is now going to check. If his horse and horse really found that person nearby, how would he face the "second brother", me, and how should I face him?
I can't think about it, I can't think of it.
Many things have passed. If you don't think about it, maybe everything can happen when it doesn't happen, so let it be sealed up; but if you mention it, you may not even be able to live with your own memory.
Susu stood next to me and stayed with us quietly. At this time, I walked over and said gently, "Miss, I don't understand anything else you said, but you should eat something."
"..."
"Otherwise, your stomach will hurt."
I glanced up at her, and looked at the missing pastries on the table, and for some reason laughed.
I always feel that Susu is the simplest and most direct one among all the people around me. No matter how people struggle in Hongchen, she is always the quietest, but the most down-to-earth in her. The person in her life, even this time, she is doing the same.
So I picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.
Still no appetite, the taste is the same as chewing wax, I still barely eat half a piece, but just a bit difficult when swallowing, I picked up a tea cup to drink water.
Susu suddenly said, "Where did this cup of tea come from?"
I still had half a piece of pastry in my throat, and said chaos, "Let them bring it."
"Did I say something, something I haven't tried, Miss you can't use it!"
She talked to me and grabbed it from me. I couldn't help crying and laughing. I just drank it just now. Where can I help her to try it?
But it was too late to stop, she took a sip while holding a tea cup.
There was probably an urgent relationship, and she basically drank half a cup at one sip.
I looked at her and smiled, "It's all right, can you give it to me now?"
She blinked, and she still seemed to have "red". She handed me the tea cup and said, "I said, I haven't tried-"
With that said, she stopped suddenly.
I watched her eyes darken suddenly, her hands loosened, the tea cup fell, and she smashed on the ground with a bang.
